Ok, with one week to go until our first trip to WDW is there any last minute tips you can recommend?

We're there for 16 days, staying at POP (With a Disney wedding in the middle of it)!

We've booked reservations at BoG, Sci- Fi, T-Rex, Rainforest, Planet Hollywood and Fultons Crab House. We've also booked all our fast passes.....

Any suggestions welcome.

Try to sleep (I know - impossible). 16 days is awesome. Relax and know you have enough time to enjoy and experience the magic. You will be fine. Your reservations look good. I'm sure you have more than just the few you mentioned. Look over the blogs here. Look over the maps so you have an idea of where things are that so many people here mention. Relax. Don't stress. The anticipation is part of the fun of a Disney vacation.
Get park info flyers when you enter the parks so you know when shows are starting.
Know you can drop off stuff at your resort so you can experience the magic even before your room is ready.
Look around and enjoy the beauty of the parks.
Enjoy the Disney photographers in each park.
Have a Dole Whip Float (or two, three, four, etc)
Enjoy each and every experience without worrying if you're doing things right or not or experiencing everything you can or not - you will be planning your next trip even while you're there. Trust me. Trust us all. It's that amazing .
Have a magical time!

Download a wit tme app and just take a look occasionally during the day, before you get there. You'll get a feeling for which rides are more crowded and when. That way you can pace yourself better. Buy seriously, with 16 days, you don't need to worry. Anything you miss one day you can catch the next.

Have fun. We go in a little less than a week, but only for a couple of days. As return visitors, we'll just hit the highlights.

Besides the park tips, the last week before leaving is critical and things being so hectic preparing to finally leave, major things can be overlooked. So our last week, we reconfirm all reservations, recheck the packing list to make sure nothings left behind, again figure the pocket money allotted for the trip, check medication lists, and go over the plans with relatives/ neighbors who will be looking after household things while we are gone. Get last minute bills paid and figure out what might come due and need to be mailed from WDW. Get the stamps needed. ( They can be bought at resort store if you forget though ) Plan to have the travel tickets, itinerary, magic bands, and other major things in a visible area where they wont be forgotten during that mad dash out the door.

For 16 days, take a case or two of water (24 bottles per case). One case of 24 16oz bottles of water costs about $4.99 where you pay $2.50 for ONE 20oz bottle of Dasani in the parks.

Distribute out the bottles of water to your party daily. You'll be grateful for the savings in that cost alone.
